Bernd Stelzl's winery is located in Leutschach an der Weinstraße, the southernmost part of southern Styria. Already at the age of 20 he began to improve the quality and has achieved significant development in recent years.
Bernd Stelzl focuses primarily on individualistic wines from the Schlossberg, Hirritschberg and Hirritsch Hube vineyards, but also on quality wines typical of the region in the classic style of vinification. The most important vineyard of the winery is located in the Hirritschberg site, perfectly oriented to the southeast and characterised by calcareous Opok soils.
On the vineyards currently located there, which are managed exclusively by Bernd Stelzl, grow the best Sauvignon Blancs and Burgundy varieties of the farm, which never deny their provenance and are always endowed with complexity, depth, as well as with very good ageing potential.
As a further enhancement of this special vineyard, there is the Ried Hirritsch Hube, a south-facing site, characterised by calcareous marl slate and sandstone, predestined and reserved for Chardonnay, which has been showing a distinctive and unique characteristic for several years.
With the last vintages, both Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay have succeeded in producing exceptional wines that were already convincing at an early stage and bring with them a promising future. One can taste and enjoy the individual wines best in the in-house Buschenschank.
